This wild plant is commonly found in the northern parts of Anatolia, but it is also found in the Mediterranean region and all around the world in temperate climates. Borage is known for its diuretic effect, it is a natural alternative for paracetamol and helps detoxification of the blood. "Borage" is also known as "starflower" and can be stir fried and pickled. I especially like the taste of the borage pickles, it has an extraordinary texture.
